Q.2 In quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A = 72° and ∠C is supplementary to ∠A.
✓ Solution

Given:
\[
\angle A = 72^\circ
\]

Since ∠C is supplementary to ∠A:
\[
\angle C = 180^\circ - 72^\circ
\]

\[
\angle C = 108^\circ
\]

Other angles are:
\[
2x - 10^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad x + 4^\circ
\]

Using angle sum property of quadrilateral:

\[
72 + 108 + (2x - 10) + (x + 4) = 360
\]

\[
180 + 3x - 6 = 360
\]

\[
3x + 174 = 360
\]

\[
3x = 186
\]

\[
x = 62
\]

Now:

\[
2x - 10 = 124 - 10 = 114^\circ
\]

\[
x + 4 = 62 + 4 = 66^\circ
\]

Values:

  • \(x = 62\)
  • Angles are:

Q.5 Show that the bisectors of angles of a parallelogram form a rectangle.
✓ Solution

Let ABCD be a parallelogram.

Properties:

  • Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
  • Opposite angles are equal.

Suppose angle bisectors intersect forming PQRS.

Since adjacent angles are supplementary:

\[
\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ
\]

Their bisected angles become:

\[
\frac{\angle A}{2} + \frac{\angle B}{2} = 90^\circ
\]

Thus each angle of PQRS is \(90^\circ\).

Therefore PQRS is a rectangle.

Hence proved.

Q.3 AB and CD are perpendicular diameters of a circle with radius \(4\sqrt{2}\) cm. Find chord AC and angles ∠OAC and ∠OCA.
✓ Solution

Radius:
\[
OA = OC = 4\sqrt{2} \text{ cm}
\]

Since diameters are perpendicular:

\[
\angle AOC = 90^\circ
\]

Triangle AOC is a right triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem:

::contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

\[
AC^2 = (4\sqrt{2})^2 + (4\sqrt{2})^2
\]

\[
= 32 + 32
\]

\[

\]

\[
AC = 8 \text{ cm}
\]

Now:
\[
OA = OC
\]

Therefore triangle AOC is an isosceles right triangle.

Hence:
\[
\angle OAC = \angle OCA
\]

Since total angle:
\[
180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ
\]

Each angle:
\[
45^\circ

\]

Using Pythagoras theorem:

\[
d_1^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
\]

\[
d_1^2 + 64 = 100
\]

\[
d_1 = 6 \text{ cm}
\]

\]

\[
d_2^2 + 6^2 = 10^2
\]

\[
d_2^2 + 36 = 100
\]

\[
d_2 = 8 \text{ cm}
\]

If chords are on opposite sides of centre:

\[

Q.6 Two circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm intersect. Distance between centres = 4 cm. Find length of common chord.
✓ Solution

Let:

  • Radius of first circle = \(5\) cm
  • Radius of second circle = \(3\) cm
  • Distance between centres = \(4\) cm

Using intersecting circles property:

Distance from centre of larger circle to common chord:

\[
x = \frac{5^2 - 3^2 + 4^2}{2 \times 4}
\]

\[
= \frac{25 - 9 + 16}{8}
\]

\[
= \frac{32}{8}
\]

\[
x = 4
\]

Half chord length:

\[
\sqrt{5^2 - 4^2}
=
\sqrt{25 - 16}
=
3
\]

Therefore common chord length:

\[
2 \times 3 = 6 \text{ cm}
\]

Length of common chord = \(6\) cm

Q.2 In the figure, AC is the diameter. Given:
✓ Solution
  • \(\angle ADE = 30^\circ\)
  • \(\angle DAC = 35^\circ\)
  • \(\angle CAB = 40^\circ\)

Find:
1. \(\angle ACD\)
2. \(\angle ACB\)
3. \(\angle DAE\)


(i) Find ∠ACD

Angles in the same segment are equal.

Since:
\[
\angle ADE = 30^\circ
\]

Therefore:
\[
\angle ACD = 30^\circ
\]

\(\angle ACD = 30^\circ\)


(ii) Find ∠ACB

Angles subtended by the same chord AB are equal.

Given:
\[
\angle CAB = 40^\circ
\]

Using angle in semicircle property:

Since AC is diameter:
\[
\angle ABC = 90^\circ
\]

Now in triangle ABC:

\[
\angle ACB
=
180^\circ - (90^\circ + 40^\circ)
\]

\[
= 50^\circ
\]

\(\angle ACB = 50^\circ\)


(iii) Find ∠DAE

In triangle ACD:

\[
\angle DAC = 35^\circ
\]

\[
\angle ACD = 30^\circ
\]

Therefore:

\[
\angle ADC
=
180^\circ - (35^\circ + 30^\circ)
\]

\[
= 115^\circ
\]

Using cyclic quadrilateral property:

\[
\angle DAE = 180^\circ - 115^\circ
\]

\[
= 65^\circ
\]

\(\angle DAE = 65^\circ\)


Q.3 Find all the angles of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD.
✓ Solution

Properties used:

  • Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

Thus:

\[
\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ
\]

\[
\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ
\]

Use the given angle values from the figure to compute all angles.

Solve using supplementary angle property.

✓ Solution

Given:

  • \(\angle DBC = 40^\circ\)
  • \(\angle BAC = 60^\circ\)

Find:
1. \(\angle CAD\)
2. \(\angle BCD\)


(i) Find ∠CAD

Angles in the same segment are equal.

Since:
\[
\angle DBC = 40^\circ
\]

Therefore:
\[
\angle CAD = 40^\circ
\]

\(\angle CAD = 40^\circ\)


(ii) Find ∠BCD

Angles subtended by same chord BC:

\[
\angle BAC = 60^\circ
\]

Angle at circumference standing on same arc BDC:

\[
\angle BDC = 60^\circ
\]

Now opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary:

\[
\angle BAD + \angle BCD = 180^\circ
\]

Using figure relationships:

\[
\angle BCD = 120^\circ
\]

\(\angle BCD = 120^\circ\)


Q.5 AB and CD are parallel chords.
✓ Solution

Given:

  • \(CD = 6\) cm
  • Distance between perpendiculars \(LM = 7\) cm

Find radius.


Half chords:
\[
\frac{AB}{2} = 4 \text{ cm}
\]

\[
\frac{CD}{2} = 3 \text{ cm}
\]

Let distances from centre be:
\[
OM = x
\]

\[
OL = 7 - x
\]

Using Pythagoras theorem:

For AB:
\[
r^2 = x^2 + 4^2
\]

\[
r^2 = x^2 + 16
\]

For CD:
\[
r^2 = (7-x)^2 + 3^2
\]

\[
r^2 = (7-x)^2 + 9
\]

Equating:

\[
x^2 + 16 = (7-x)^2 + 9
\]

\[
x^2 + 16 = 49 -14x + x^2 + 9
\]

\[
16 = 58 -14x
\]

\[
14x = 42
\]

\[
x = 3
\]

Now:

\[
r^2 = 3^2 + 16
\]

\[
= 25
\]

\[
r = 5 \text{ cm}

Distance from centre to chord:
\[
r - 2
\]

Using Pythagoras theorem:

::contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

\[
(r-2)^2 + 3^2 = r^2
\]

\[
r^2 -4r +4 +9 = r^2
\]

\[
13 = 4r
\]

\[
r = \frac{13}{4}
\]

\[
r = 3.25 \text{ m}

Radius of circle = \(3.25\) m


Q.7 In figure, ∠ABC = 120°. Find ∠OAC.
✓ Solution

Angle at centre is twice angle at circumference.

Since angle subtended by major arc:

\angle AOC = 2 \times (360^\circ -120^\circ)/2
\]

Minor central angle:

\[
\angle AOC = 120^\circ
\]

Triangle AOC is isosceles.

Thus:

\[
\angle OAC
=
\frac{180^\circ -120^\circ}{2}
\]

\[
= 30^\circ
\]

\(\angle OAC = 30^\circ\)

  • \(CD = 10\) m
  • \(AB \perp CD\)

Find distance from centre to P.


Distance from centre to chord AB:

Half chord:
\[
4
\]

Using Pythagoras:

\[
d_1^2 + 4^2 = 6^2
\]

\[
d_1^2 = 20
\]

\[
d_1 = 2\sqrt{5}
\]

Distance from centre to chord CD:

Half chord:
\[
5
\]

\[
d_2^2 + 5^2 = 6^2
\]

\[
d_2^2 = 11
\]

\[
d_2 = \sqrt{11}
\]

Using perpendicular geometry:

\[
OP = \sqrt{(2\sqrt5)^2 + (\sqrt{11})^2}
\]

\[
= \sqrt{20+11}
\]

\[
= \sqrt{31}
\]

Distance from centre to P:
\[

\]


Q.9 Given:
✓ Solution
  • \(\angle POQ = 100^\circ\)
  • \(\angle PQR = 30^\circ\)

Find \(\angle RPO\).

Angle subtended at circumference:

\[
\angle PRQ = \frac{100^\circ}{2}
\]

\[
= 50^\circ
\]

In triangle PQR:

\[
\angle QPR
=
180^\circ - (50^\circ + 30^\circ)
\]

\[
= 100^\circ
\]

Now triangle OPR is isosceles.

Hence:

\[
\angle RPO = 40^\circ
\]

\(\angle RPO = 40^\circ\)
